Quotes of the Day

Gary Bauer reminds us about the pre-makeover, chip-on-her-shoulder Michelle... not so First Ladyish nice.
  • America is “just downright mean” and “guided by fear.”
  • “For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.”
  • “Our souls are broken in this nation.”
Michelle Obama

"Last night, Michelle Obama closed her speech saying, “God bless you and God bless America.” Yet for the past twenty years, she and her husband attended a church whose pastor preached about wild conspiracy theories, who said America was to blame for the 9/11 terrorist attacks and who roared from the pulpit, “God d--- America.”

What should voters pay more attention to? A one time, heavily scripted speech written to be broadcast on national television? Or off-the-cuff statements in small groups made over and over again?"
